Chapter 100 The Little Devouring Python, The Final Wait

It's the voice of Queen Medusa!

Although she seemed extremely weak, the somber atmosphere that enveloped the holy city was instantly replaced by ecstatic joy upon hearing her voice.

The flower snake outside the small island, as if rejuvenated by the new spring, got up, crying and laughing at the same time.

On the island, Chen Xiao had already taken out a Fire Lotus Seed and held it in his hand.

brush!brush!

Almost at the same time, Zi Yan turned her gaze in that direction.

The constantly darting seven-colored light also stopped beside Chen Xiao's hand.

Now, I can finally see its full picture.

This is a small snake, only about two centimeters long. Its body is covered with tiny, colorful scales, and it has pale purple eyes. It has a faintly eerie feeling, and a strange, fresh fragrance lingers around its body. Although it is only a snake, it exudes elegance and nobility.

Perhaps because it is newly evolved, pink accounts for a large proportion of the snake's seven-colored scales. Its pink and tender appearance makes it look not fierce at all, but rather very cute and beautiful to an excessive degree.

Even Zi Yan, upon seeing the small snake, completely ignored the Earth Fire Lotus Seed in Chen Xiao's hand, her gaze drawn entirely to it, which speaks volumes.

At this moment, the seven-colored snake gently flicked its tiny tail, staring at Chen Xiao with its large, pale purple eyes. Attracted by the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, it slowly approached his fist.

After realizing that Chen Xiao showed no resistance and even a sense of closeness, the seven-colored snake finally climbed onto the fist and burrowed into the gaps between the fingers, wanting to dig out the earth fire lotus seeds inside and enjoy a feast.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao clenched his fists. This newly evolved little thing couldn't use its own power yet, which meant that it made no progress after burrowing for a long time. It could only turn its head back, curl up its body slightly, and look at him pitifully with its pair of light purple eyes.

Chen Xiao chuckled, "We'll talk about the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds later. For now, eat something else."

Chen Xiao then took out a jade bottle containing Fire Spirit Elixir. Fire Spirit Elixir is a medicinal liquid that is very beneficial to people with fire attributes. People with fire attributes below the Dou Ling level can accelerate their cultivation speed and also have some body-refining effects when they take it.

This item was obtained by Chen Xiao and Zi Yan from an auction during their training in the Black Corner Region; there were only six bottles in total.

Opening the jade bottle, the seven-colored snake stretched out its coiled body, climbed up Chen Xiao's arm to the bottle opening, peeked out to sniff, hesitated for a moment, and then plunged its head into the jade bottle, slowly burrowing its entire body inside.

"Didn't you say you bought this as a gift for a friend?" Zi Yan looked up at her.

"Queen Medusa is your friend, and your friend is my friend. She needs to replenish her energy, so we can't be stingy, right?"

Zi Yan nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to the matter, and looked at the jade bottle in his palm. "So, this little thing is Medusa's evolved form?"

"Yeah, doesn't it look a lot like you in snake form—"

"Your Majesty, how is Her Majesty?"

A hurried sound rang out, and Flower Snake also darted over.

Just then, the seven-colored snake finished drinking the entire bottle of Fire Spirit Elixir and poked its head out of the jade bottle.

Under the watchful eyes of three pairs of people, it paused for a moment before transforming into a streak of seven-colored light and slipping into Chen Xiao's sleeve.

Chen Xiao did not stop her, and looked at Hua She'er and said, "Your Queen has successfully evolved. This little snake is called the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. It is her evolved form, which is hundreds of times stronger than the Purple Nether Flame Snake and has unlimited potential."

"However, as you can see, this little Devouring Python has a new soul. In other words, there are now two souls inside its body. They need to fight for control of the body and gradually merge each other's souls. The winner will be the one who disappears, and no one can be sure whether it will reappear in the future."

Upon hearing this, the joy on Hua She'er's face vanished instantly.

It's truly a case of one wave subsiding only for another to rise.

She understood what Chen Xiao meant: although Queen Medusa had successfully evolved, she was now facing a new crisis.

If they fail to win the body, their queen will never appear again!

In reality, the situation wasn't as dire as she imagined. Normally, with the little Devouring Python's newly formed soul, it would be highly unlikely that it could compete with Queen Medusa.

However, if no measures are taken, Queen Medusa will inevitably be affected by the Little Devouring Python for a long time, even if she gains the upper hand.

"I will not be leaving the Snake-People tribe for the time being. You can inform the elders of this situation."

"Now, according to the discussion between Your Majesty the Queen and me last night, this strange flame is mine. Your clan elders will help me temporarily seal it on that lotus throne, right?"

Flower Snake nodded. She was present the whole time last night and knew what conditions Chen Xiao and Queen Medusa had agreed to.

Needless to say, the strange fire is a given, and if the Ice Spirit Cold Spring remains, Chen Xiao can take it with him as well.

Unfortunately, the small pool is now completely empty, and not a single drop can be squeezed out.

"As for helping the Snake-People stabilize the situation that might worsen, and providing assistance when necessary, these conditions are null and void now that she has successfully evolved. However, I will wait until she appears once before leaving, no more than a month. Zi Yan and I have something to do and need to return to the Black Corner Region. We cannot stay in the Snake-People's territory for too long."

"I understand, Mr. Chen Xiao. Rest assured, now that the people know Her Majesty the Queen has successfully evolved, the Snake-People tribe will not descend into chaos!"

Flower Snake nodded in agreement.

As she spoke, her gaze kept glancing at Chen Xiao's sleeve.

He hesitated, then stopped, then continued, "Right now, the little Devouring Python's soul is in control. Ziyan and I were the first people it met and the first people it fed, which is why it's closer to us. If you want to investigate its situation, you'll have to find your own way; I can't control it."

"As for using force against it, even if Zi Yan and I didn't interfere, the little Devouring Python's power is still quite formidable. Moreover, just the fact that it contains the soul of your Queen should be enough to deter the Snake-People from offending it."

Flower Snake nodded helplessly, somewhat regretting that she had reacted too slowly earlier.

Little did they know, this wasn't a matter of speed.

If you want the little Devouring Python to get close to you, you at least need to have something on you that attracts it.

"Therefore, my advice is to wait patiently. The little Devouring Python's newborn soul is not strong. Queen Medusa is just currently overexerted. After a short recovery, she should appear soon," Chen Xiao continued.

Flower Snake also knew that there was no other way.

Without further ado, she led the two to a place to stay before reporting to the four elders.

Before long, four old women with deeply lined faces and somewhat frightening appearances emerged from a dark secret room and headed towards the small lake behind the holy city.
